Harmon's partly right. BYU will end up in the Big 12, but only if Missouri's
rumored move to the SEC occurs. TCU was invited in part to try to keep Mizzou
in, and the agreement about equal revenue sharing was also a ploy to keep
Missouri and the other schools with wanderlust in the fold.

Some
schools in the Big 12 are not too eager to invite BYU for reasons that have
nothing to do with either business or the quality of athletic programs. But if
Mizzou leaves the remaining schools in the Big 12 will go with the best option
available and that is BYU. If Missouri stays, it's anybody's guess whether BYU
will be invited.

There may not have been a formal offer, but they were definitely negotiatingand
the Big 12 was definitely interested. Something scared the Big 12 off in those
discussions. Holmoe is keeping mum so as to not risk future negotiations. But
I'm afraid that ship has sailed. There won't be an offer, IMO; it has to do with
broadcasting rights and Sunday play. The broadcasting network for the Big 12
don't want to have to deal with the baggage BYU brings. I truly, truly hope I'm
wrong.

Sorry Chris but your namesake won't be demanding the 2 for 1 game deals both BYU
and Utah can demand from Utah State for scheduling. And even Utah State might
not be getting any visits from their bigger brothers in Salt Lake and Provo
after 2014 when your Ute's are under contract to play in Logan one last time.
The rivalry might go into hiatus for 5-6 years as both schools get used to their
BCS league environments...but it will be back as a Pac 12/Big 12 showdown which
will add a new dimension to it that all the fans on both sides will back up and
enjoy.

The State of Utah will be the crossroads of two great BCS
leagues in college football sooner than you think, and BOTH Utah and BYfanssn
will be the winners in league realignment!

The Big 12 presidents/chancellors 4 years ago made a decision to change the
championship finale of their league basketball toruney to Saturday knowing it
could come to BYU replacing Colorado in the league line-up. They have the data
to back up it's been a great choice thus far, but FOX TV Sports wouldn't listen
and blocked the BYU application a couple of weeks ago in favor of TCU.

Missouri to the SEC when they really want the Big Ten? Don't bet on either.

I don't have any sources and I say that BYU is out of the Big-12 expansion
picture. See how easy that is was. This coming from a reporter who had a
tantrum on national television when BYU was invited by the PAC-10. I wonder how
much bigger the tantrum will get if BYU happens to not get an Big-12 invite and
is asked to speak on national television again.

everyone seems to be running away from the big 12 colorado, nebraska last
yeartexas a&m and now missouri. oklahoma and oklahoma state looked at
leaving and byu fans think this will be the greatest thing for their athletics
programs as they have been waiting weeks for an invite

BYU = Never loosing a recruit to the utes that they want.Better
conference than the pac 12.Longer nights curled up on moms kitchen floor
sobbing.More "mark it down" worthless predictions.Another
several years with nothing else to do but post on BYU articles.

I've been excited about this topic for the past few months, checking the news
daily to see if things are going to happen. However, as a huge BYU fan, I don't
see this thing coming our way. I'm gearing up for a long history as an
Independent school. Let's be honest, that is just who we are. We're different
and we kind of like floating alone on things. Would I love to be in the Big 12?
YES!!! However, I just don't think it will happen any more.
